EMDR:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach developed by Francine Shapiro to help individuals process traumatic memories. It doesn’t specifically involve “Bilateral Cognition.”

Bilateral stimulation is a key component of EMDR and typically involves the therapist guiding the client’s eye movements back and forth while they recall distressing memories. This bilateral stimulation is thought to facilitate the processing of traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and helping the individual develop more adaptive coping mechanisms.

However, bilateral stimulation in EMDR is believed to engage both hemispheres of the brain, facilitating the processing and integration of distressing memories.
